  1. Summer
    Summer is as fun as a birthday party throw just for me! In the summer you can go camping. You can have a bon fire. With its red and orange glow. The bon fire is tall and hot. You can also go for a long walk. You can see nature and animals all around you. You can go 4- wheeling in the gross, gooey and dark drown mud. You can also go fishing and catch big, long and heavy fish. In summer you can go swimming to have fun. You can go swimming at the rope in Enosburg. The rope is a long river with a long rope and with a tire at the end of it. You can jump in the cold and clean water. How refreshing. You can find smooth and small or big rocks when you go swimming there. You can go swimming at camping and play a long game of Marco Polo. This is why summer is my favorite season.

  2. My favorite season is summer because you get to build a bomb-fire. You can put oil cans in to make it immense. After that you can feel the intense heat are you hungry because you get to roast hot dogs and marsh mellows. Stop the heat instead of fires you can go in the coldest places ever to go swimming. You can go to the most fun place I know Its called the rope there is a rope that you can swing of and land in the water. You can also jump of the rock and land in water if you go under you can see fish like trout so that is why water and fires are fun in the SUMMER!

  4. SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Summer is as hot as a bomb-fire. Here is reasons how it is hot. It feels like it is 101 degrees out. It is so hot you can go swimming pretty much every day. You can fry an egg on the sidewalk. Here is reasons how it is like a bomb-fire. I watch the reddish-orange flames combine on to one huge flame. The bugs fly around like birds do on a sunny afternoon. You can roast your marshmallows and they will turn out as burnt as a piece of wood on fire.

    Winter is as fun as skiing at Jay Peak on a cold winter day.
    Winter is taking the Deer Run down Jay Peak and seeing a warm fluffy moose standing there on the white snow trail.
    Winter is going fast down the Metro on the fun jumps. The wind blowing my hair in my face.Winter is going on Queens Highway and seeing the skiers waving hi to me with their kind friendly faces.
    Winter is cold my toes are getting frostbite from staying out too long.My nose feels like it is going to fall off.I can feel the blowing in my face.
    Winter is my favorite season because it reminds me of my favorite mountain, Jay Peak. Olivia Leavstrom

    Summer is as fun as a bonfire. The bonfire is big and warm and cozy at night. Around the bonfire we roast hot dogs. The hot dogs turn black. After they are roasted to a crisp, we put them in buns and eat them. We also roast marshmallows. We make them turn brown and black. We eat them and can even make them into delicious, chocolate covered smores. Summer is as fun as a bonfire.

    Winter is like the clouds in the sky. Winter is fun as riding the snowmobile. Clouds are bright white and so is the snow. Snow is extremely puffy. Clouds are light and fuffy like stuffed animals. Clouds hover above the earth and snow buries the ground. Winter is as fun as riding a snowmobile. It is fun to jump as high as a giant rock on the snowbanks with a sled. Winter is as fast as a seven hundred Ski Doo. I feel free as a deer when I drive in the winter. Winter is like the clouds in the sky and as fun as jumping a snowmobile. WINTER. ryan.ga

    Summer is like a song in the morning. The birds chirping in the trees. The bull frogs crocking near the water. The wind blowing the trees. The wolves howling in the woods. Feeling the morning dew on your feet. In the morning the birds come and eat the worms. In the morning most of the animals wake up. See summer is like a song in the morning to me summer is relaxing with all those beautiful noises and waking up to the quiet morning.

  15. Summer is as fun as riding a four wheeler and going swimming.
    Summer is as fun as swimming in a pool because when you are swimming you get to fun games like marco polo, that game is as fun as playing doge ball. Another game you can play in the water is water volley ball that is as fun as sliding down the water slide. The last game is the most fun it is shark it is as fun as playing under water fish. Summer is as fun as ridding a four wheeler because you can raise with your friends and it will feel like you are flying.Another reason summer is as fun as ridding a four wheeler because you can ride as fast as the wind. The last reason is you can ride so fast you can get away from you annoying brother and sister witch are as annoying as a dog that dose not stop barking. those are the reasons why I like summer and why summer is as fun as riding a four wheeler and swimming.

    Winter is like the cold in Antarctica. Winter is beautiful. Winter is as beautiful as mahlik because of his sparkling face and the sparkling snow. The mountains are as beautiful as a hot sunny day because the sun is out and you can do a lot of fun things. Winter is as beautiful as hot pink finger nails like Mrs. Starrs. Winter is also fun. Winter is as fun as snow boarding at Jay Peak because me and Dylan are pros. Sledding is as fun as summer because you get to hit gigantic jumps and get buried deep with both. This is why I like winter as cold as Antarctica.

  17. Summer!
    Summer is as hot as the sun. I like when the grass is shinning. I like when the sun reflects off the big green trees. When the wind blows it bends the trees. I like to play sports and go swimming in the summer.
    Sports!
    One thing I like to do in the summer is to play sports. I like to play baseball in the summer with my friends and my cousins when its really hot and the blows in our sweaty faces to cool us down and when we drink our cool fresh water it fells good. I like to play basketball in the summer too . I like to get better at basketball and want to be as good as Michael Jordan. Also I like to play soccer in the summer to get a lot exercise and sweat as if it was raining of my head.
    Swimming!
    I like to go swimming in the summer to get cooled off and not stay as hot as the sun all day. I like to go swimming in the summer to get as good Michael Phelps. I like to go swimming in the summer to spend more time out side and not get in trouble.

    These are some of things I do in the Beautiful hot summer.

    Summer is as fun as riding a four- wheeler. I was riding my four-wheeler and I hit a table top jump and went so high I flat landed it and almost snapped the four-wheeler in half. I was riding my four-wheeler and I was mud bogging and I got so frustrated I pushed the gas so far that I made a hole in the ground the size of two basketballs combined. I was riding my four-wheeler and I went so fast and I turned so sharp I rolled the four-wheeler on top of me and my dad was so scared he was acting as if I was dead or severely hurt. Summer is as fun as shooting my guns. I was shooting my guns and I shot a bird and blew its head off and it was as gory as gutting a boat pout. I was shooting my guns and I shot a squash and it was as messy as a sloppy joe. I shot at a squirrel and it dodged the bullet as if it was part ninja and part squirrel. I was shooting my guns and I shot at the paper target taped to the board and the board shattered as if it was a plate shattering on the floor. Summer is as fun as riding my four-wheeler and shooting my guns.

    Summer is as hot as the sun. Summer is as fun as the beach. I am going to give you 3 reasons why each the sun and the beach are like summer. First the sun

    Summer is as hot as the sun. Summer and the sun are as big as the BFG. Summer and the sun are as hot and as exhausting as a day of work and exercise. wow! is that awesome lets go to the beach.


    The beach is as exiting as the first day of summer. Summer is as refreshing as a dip in the water of the beach. Summer is as fun as the food on the beach.

    Summer is my favorite season. It is as fun as the six flags in Texas. One reason why I like summer is because cause you can go camping you can explore the wild woods. In the woods you can make a tree house. It can be immense and dark brown. It would be made out of branches. Also, we can have a bomb-fire. The bomb-fire is immense and it is bright orange and red. The last reason I like summer is because you can go camping and fishing. We can catch big and heasy fish as we sail across the glossy lake in a big and colorful boat.
    Another reason why I like summer is because you can go to the rope and swim. It is a awesome swimming whole. It is as deep as the first gimps of the night after sunset. Also we can go ride canoes, The canoes are as green as the grass and the white is as white s the winter. The last reason why I like summer is because you can find little clams when you are swimming. The clams are as little as a flash drive.

    These are the reasons why my favorite season is summer and I hoped you learned stuff about this season.

  21. Summer is as fun as six-flags. Me and my dad go out to fish at the greenish bluish lake. We glide in and out of the wavy wake on water skis. listening to engines roaring, exhaust spitting, tiers squealing as the sport cars go by. summer is as beautiful as rainbows. Beautiful sunsets fall behind the mossy green mountains. beautiful green staring trees sway in the worm summer breeze. lying on the cool grass staring up at the different shapes and sizes of wight fluffy clouds. summer is as fun as six flags and as beautiful as a rainbow.

    Summer is as hot as a bomb fire on a sunday night and it is as dry as dust on a desert.

    Bomb Fire
    I watch the flames of the fire change colors.
    I watch the small flame turn into a huge explosion of fire.
    I watch the red and Orange flames bind together.

    Desert
    I watch the illusions form in my head.
    I watch the dust blow across the land.
    I let the sand fall my fingers.

    I like summer because it is as hot as a bomb fire on a sunday night an as dry as dustin a desert.

    Summer is as fun as going to the beach on a hot day. The beach is fun. Playing football with my dad and jumping for the ball. Swimming in the cold oceans water. Playing ultimate frisbee on the beach. I am warm on a hot day. Laying in the sun on a hot day. Burying each others feet in the sun. Getting a tan on a hot day. That is a real summer.

  24. The season summer is as fun as camping and riding my 4-Wheeler. When we went camping we use to go on long rides on the 4-Wheeler. When we are riding we see beautiful sites like the wild life and the sparkling waters. Camping is also is as fun as shooting with family. When we are shooting guns we get to her the sounds of the bullets hitting the targets. When you her the ting you know you are a good shot. Camping is also as fun as hunting with my dad. When you are sitting the woods and the morning brakes the sound is so peaceful when the birds start to sing and you get to see the animals come out. Summer is as fun as riding my 4-wheeler. Riding my 4-wheeler is about having fun. Going up and down the road every day with the 4-wheeler. We can get wet and muddy and have lots fun. My 4-wheeler is fun when you can go fast. Feeling the cool breeze hit your face and go through the water. You can go places that you cant go any other time. Going to different places in the peaceful woods, Herring the birds chirp and the shiny, sparkly waters. Summer is as fun as camping and riding my 4-wheeler.
